What Mozilla code has already been relicensed?

0

Many Mozilla source files previously released under the NPL (along with some source files released under an NPL/GPL dual license). Since the creation of the Mozilla Foundation, mozilla.org has inherited Netscape’s right under Section V.3 of the NPL (“Alternative Licensing”) to relicense NPLed code under a license of its choice. It is choosing to exercise that right to relicense such code under the MPL/GPL/LGPL triple license that the entire codebase is moving towards, thereby eliminating NPLed code from the tree. In addition, the whole of the ‘SpiderMonkey’ C JavaScript engine (mozilla/js/src), and the Netscape Directory SDK for C (mozilla/directory/c-sdk) have been relicensed.
